1. ““The object of the statute requiring the service upon the clerk is to supply the flies with the notice with which the adverse party is served. Such notice is futile if not served. The record in the office of the clerk of the lower court should he in such compliance with the statute as to command the clerk to make the return to this court. The files in the clerk’s office and the return to this court should show that an appeal has been taken, and in order to do this the appellant must file with the clerk not only the notice but proof of the service thereof upon the adverse party. Such is an essential element of the appeal. It would be an unsatisfactory practice for the clerk otherwise to make a return to this court.” (Italics supplied.)”
